valuable time when I could be getting Grease under My fingernails searching thru thousands of
freaking pages on this forum,when somebody who
knows could post answer,and I could go to Store!

Use shell rotella and add the comp cams break-in additive...That'll give you what you need for the initial fire-up...

Use Joe Gibbs BR Break In Oil. You have lots of $$ in the engine, don't skimp on the oil at break in.

Joe Gibbs Break in Oil or Brad Penn break in oil. Both have the amount of zink needed for a proper break in

Brad Penn is what I used to break in my engine. FWIW I read recently it's not a good idea to soak lifters. I think it was in Mopar Action a few months back.
